That Night It Rained | Yuta

'Nam Min-hyuk,' Kyung-mi said.

'What?' It was the only thing Min-hyuk managed to utter.

'What did you say?' Mark looked at her, confused.

'Han Jina's soulmate is Nam Min-hyuk' Kyung-mi said, her tone more determined than last time.

Min-hyuk and Mark were equally shocked by this revelation. They both knew how deeply in love Yuta and Jina were.

Min-hyuk was silent. He wasn't sure he even heard Kyung-mi. Mark, on the other hand looked sceptical having witnessed an ugly side of Kyung-mi before when she had brought the two girls who had insulted Jina home to make Yuta apologise to them.

'Why did you take the call when it was for Min-hyuk hyung?' Mark questioned her.

'I am his assistant. And the line is usually answered by me anyway' Kyung-mi shrugged.

'And what did the fortune teller say exactly?' Mark asked.

'He said that he saw something, at first it wasn't clear then the face appeared in his vision and he could place a name on the face,' Kyung-mi stated, matter-of-factly.

'And the name he said was Nam Min-hyuk?' Mark probed further.

'Yes,' Kyung-mi replied curtly.

'But it doesn't make any sense.' Mark turned to Min-hyuk for some help but found Min-hyuk staring at a spot on the floor as though detached from the whole situation.

'I don't believe this.' Mark looked straight at Kyung-mi as though in confrontation. 'Are you sure that's the name you heard or...' He tilted his head. '...is that the name you uttered when you saw Min-hyuk hyung enter?'

'I don't know what you are trying to imply here but I have worked at this company for 6 years now and have been by your side for all them. And if you think I would lie about something this important, I don't know what to tell you.' Kyung-mi maintained her calm.

'Everyone in this room knows it and everyone in that house knows it too-'

Mark was cut by Min-hyuk. 'Enough!' he shouted. 'Both of you!'

'Kyung-mi, I trust you, okay?' Min-hyuk sighed. 'But are you sure is that what the fortune-teller told you?' Min-hyuk asked her calmly.

'Yes,' she replied without any hesitation.

Min-hyuk considered and nodded. He pulled a chair for Mark to sit down.

'Ask one of the drivers to drive you home Kyung-mi. It's late,' Min-hyuk said. Kyung-mi packed her things went out the door leaving Min-hyuk and Mark in silence.

'Hyung,' Mark started.

'Don't ask me for answers right now, I don't have them and I don't know what to do.' Min-hyuk slumped on the chair beside Mark.

As much as Mark didn't want to believe what Kyung-mi had told them, he didn't want to go against Min-hyuk who trusted Kyung-mi. It was true what Kyung-mi said, she had been there with the boys as Min-hyuk's assistant since the beginning and more importantly she has been their friend as well.

Mark didn't go home that night. He knew if he saw Yuta or Jina, he won't be able to keep this from them and he just couldn't tell them, at least not yet.

It was a lazy day at home. Having no schedules for the day, they were busy doing their own thing and lazing around and resting.

'Who spilled coffee on my book?' Yuta came shouting in the living room.

'Was it you?' Yuta asked Jaehyun. Jaehyun shook his head and shifted very carefully from next to Yuta to very far away from Yuta.
